Just finished cleaning up this Johnny Mnemonic
Lots of new parts/plastics/rubber so it looks fresh.
It plays fast as hell and the Color DMD LCD display is awesome.
(so much glare in the pictures - better picts when I post for sale)

I will play it for a few weeks and then I'm ready to sell.
Let me know if anyone is interested.

Picked up my FH yesterday afternoon. A big thanks to my fellow pinsiders who answered my litany of newbie questions on what to look out for, who to buy from, test and basic sanity checks. I owe you guys a few beers for sure.

I picked this up from quite possibly two of the most nicest/helpful pinsiders I have ever purchased from.

LOL... I saw on pinballmap that "Chris’s New Harbor Bar" in bellmont supposedly has an RH.. (I work in Hayward, so this is just a hop over the San Matero Br for me) since I tend to take those listings with a grain of salt, i figured.. why not just call and ask?
So I just did, the lady that answered said that she "refuses to divulge that kind of information, just come and see for yourself if it's here"
WTF

I stopped by this bar in Belmont on the way home from league tonight. The RS is still there and plays "ok." Set to 5-ball, playfield is a little shallow, and someone put Rudy from FH in place of Red, but otherwise seems to play ok. Updated pinballmap info too.

Sounds like a Rainbow machine - think that one used to be at Blind Cat a while back...

I wasn't looking at either one - I actually already have a FG. The seller wanted to do a TSPP + cash trade on the BTDK I have for sale. His TSPP is a bit dirty (i.e. some wax trails) but would also clean up very nicely. The only problem is a small touched up nick on the left side of the cab. Otherwise a very nice HUO game. Best see for yourself if you are interested. The seller is very nice and I enjoyed the visit. I passed on the trade not because of the game but because of space and time (i.e. no time to shop the game) constrains.

I checked out coin op in Sacramento a couple weeks ago with a friend. I felt like I could barely touch some of the machines without getting a tilt warning. I totally understand locations wanting to protect their machines from abuse, but pinball with zero nudge (let alone tilt warnings from normal body movement) just doesn't seem all that fun. Had anyone else had that experience? Is that the current normal for location play? I occasionally find a machine here and there at PAGG set with a hair trigger tilt bob, but mostly the machines at PAGG feel like they have reasonable, very playable tilt tolerances set. I mention PAGG because without that reference I might think it's just me, that my style is to aggressive. Come to think of it, I didn't get a single tilt or warning all day at PPMs expo either. But coin op? Tilt-o-Rama, baby.

I have tried Fanny Ann's and appreciated the quality of the machines. Just recently found out about wicked west - it is definitely on my list of things to do sion, especially now that I can get myself a TAF fix.

Time to rotate something to spark the pinball interest back up in the house. l've been working a lot and haven't had any time to play. I'm out of room so I need to create a space to buy something newer, I'm throwing out a few sales possibilities out here

High Speed - looks good but plays great. Completely gone through by local pinball tech and fully working - $1500

Gottlieb Genesis - plays great, extras installed, flippers feel a little weak to me, other than that it's a lot of fun. Fully working - $1150

Both purchased from fellow pinsiders

Who picked up that free The Visible Woman (Lethal Weapon 3) pinball off of CL on Saturday? I was first in line, but the guy emailed me at 4pm & only gave me an hour to respond. His email through CL servers pinged my phone at 5:29.

When was the last time there was a free pinball machine listed on Craigslist that didn't turn into a bidding war?

I'm pretty bummed that the dude only gave me an hour to respond. I was gonna fix it up and leave it because it's just a ridiculous re-theme (and LW3 sucks). It's likely that it's not the most professional job and the art could be falling off. It was really hard to tell from the pictures.

Crap, blew F101 on my recently acquired funhouse.
Changed out spring/coil linkage on left flipper, maybe i knocked something loose.
Problem is, I have no 2.5a SB fuse to replace it, I have a 3a.. argh.
Any particularly handy east bay places to pick up fuses?, not seeing much in stock at the handy dandy lowes/HD
Any help appreciated. I am in Livermore but willing to travel a lil to avoid having to wait for a shipment.
Cheers!

If you still have a radio shack around they have a decent selection. There's also a Frys in Fremont
